Lornoxicam Injection comes under the branding LORNOVA 8. It is part of a group of drugs known as anti-rheumatic and anti-inflammatory medications, which are used to treat osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis by reducing and relieving pain and inflammation (swelling). Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint condition in which the degradation of cartilage, a protective coating, causes the two ends of the joints to come together. Rheumatoid arthritis is an auto-immune condition in which the immune system of the human body destroys its own tissue, causing discomfort and damage to the joints.
